PRESIDENT NEEDS A CHAMPION
IN WASHINGTON.
Nejro Question Bothers the Republicans
Very Seriously
and Foraker is
Ahead in the

A very funny situation is
presented in Washington. Foraker
is ringing the alarm on

The democrat* havs tb* atnunition
to a?e in bi? support and
are not afraid to u*e it libarally,
but they wApt tha republicans
to fight out their own squabbles
and especially those over
the negro. Tillman is an unknown
quantity in the matter
and will certainly break i*>
where be is least expected and
will wake up snakes when he
does Culberson of Texas has a
whole lot if good ammunition
that the president's champion
would ba able to use most
tively, but he cannot unload on
any one beoanae it is not/ yet
decided who will take up the
big etiek from the -president's
hands. / ?

tie of Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt to
fall on hie ehouldere The negro
vote in that nominating convention
is going to be worth counting
because there will be such
long division in the white vote,
and (he politicans north of the
Mason and Dixon line still labor
under the delusion that' the
negro is a white man with a
dark skin.
To make matters more interesting
a irew report of an outrage
by negro troops has been
reported and the pressure in
Washington for the passage of
that act prohibiting further
enlistments of negroes in the
army is becoming more
imperative.
Cured of Lung Trouble.
"It is now eleven years since I
had a narrow escape from consumption,"
writes 0. 0.- Floyd, a
leading business man of Kershaw,
S. C. "I had run down in weight
to 185 pounds and co. ghing wa?
constant, both by day and by
night. Finally I began taking Dr.
King's New Disoovery, and continued
this for about six months,
when my oough and lung trouble
were entirely gone and I was restored
to my normal weight, 160
pounds." Thousands of persons
are healed every year. Gnara*teeb

RAILROADING IN 1840.
Comparison With the Preset
Reflects NO Credit on
! . Progress.
The publication recently of
the figures of the casualties of
the railroads in 8outh Carolina
within the past year leads Gen.
R. R. Hemphill to make a
comparison not at all flattering
to present day railroad managers.
In the Abbeville Medium,
he says:
T. - - -
it is a common thing to hear
unthinking people may that the
railroads of the present day are
better managed than in the olden
time. Like many other pretensions
of the present generation
the facts are against the claim
and show that the railroads were
i better operated then than
now.
A few items from the reports
of the Greenville and Columbia
railroad, reports that during the
year there were only thirteen
failures to make connections exactly
on time, but there were no
long delays. About 60,000 passengers
traveled over the road.
Not a passenger on the road or
employe was injured. One white
man carelessly walking on the
track was killed.
The Laurens railroad failed to
meet schedule time only three
times. Noboby was killed or
injured. , .r
The South Oarolin^Yailroad
failed to make schedule time, al
though running ten times daily,
only thirty-four times. Nobody
was injured, bnt one fireman was
killed. He jumped from bis
dngine when a fine burst. There
were 198,186 passengers during
the year. The spesd of passenger
trains was twenty miles per
hour.
The Northern road carried 48,000
passengers at a speed of
twenty miles an.hour, made connections
every time and not a
person was killed or injured.
The Charleston and Savannah
railroad at a speed of twenty
miles an hotor, carried 150,000
passesgera, tailed to make oonwas
inJdYeaor lrilledTexbept one
negro who lost his life beeanse
Via want. t/? alaan at.
WW V?W|/ WM VUO
The Cheraw and Darlington
road carried 17,456 passengers
at a speed of twenty miles an
hour, made connections every
time and nobody was killed or
injured.
That year 334,635 passengers
went over the roads and not one
was killed or injured.
* Schedules were made in nearly
every instance. The rate of
speed was about twenty miles an
hour which, considering the iron
rails then in use, was fine
time.
In those days the railroads
managed their own property
without a railroad commissinn as
we have now. At the head of the
companies there were "safeand
sane" men in fact and the
traveler could count on when
hs would arrive at his destination.
Facts are stubborn things and
prove beyond a doubt that the
times before the war were better
than these evil days.

hays J. R. Blankenship, of BeokTenn.
"I have proved to an abso,
lute certainly that Electric Bitters
will positively cure this distressing
condition. Ths first bottle
gave me great relief and after
taking a few aiore bottles, I was
completely enred; so completely
that it becomes a pleasure to
recommend this great remedy."
